: Talk everywhere.
Jawbone is the worlds first adaptive Bluetooth
headset for mobile phones. Its revolutionary Noise
Shield technology combines the latest innovations
in acoustics, audio processing and product design
to produce a quantum leap in headset performance.
Not only does the Jawbone technology virtually
eliminate all background noise from your call, but
as your background changes it also seamlessly
adjusts the speaker output so you can hear your
callers voice better. Jawbones intelligent system of
sensors, software, and ergonomic features allows
you to use your mobile phone in any environment
without shouting or straining to hear.

Jawbone Technology Breakthroughs

Jawbone identifies your speech:
A proprietary voice activity sensor identifies precisely
when you are speaking, in any noise environment.
Unlike other headsets, Jawbone can easily separate
your speech from other sounds nearby.
Jawbone eliminates noise:
Jawbone uses highly directional microphones and
powerful signal processing algorithms to remove
background noise from your outgoing speech signal.
This allows you to be heard clearly in any environment without the need to shout and disturb others
around you.
Jawbone automatically enhances incoming audio:
The volume and frequency content of the incoming
speech is dynamically adjusted to maximize intelligibility in any noise environment. No matter where you
are, Jawbone will adapt to your environment.

3. Pairing Jawbone

Steps for Pairing Jawbone:

Jawbone works with Bluetooth-enabled devices

only. Prior to pairing your headset for the first time,
please ensure that your mobile phone is Bluetooth
capable and the Bluetooth feature is enabled.

1. Place Jawbone where it is no more than one meter

away from your mobile phone.

The first time that you use Jawbone with your Bluetooth-enabled phone, you will have to pair them together. This is a procedure that exchanges information between your phone and the Jawbone so that
they can work together. Pairing is only required the
first time you use the Jawbone with your phone. The
headset pairing procedure will vary depending on
the model of your mobile phone. Please refer to your
mobile phone user guide for pairing instructions.
NOTE: Instructions on how to pair Bluetooth devices with
many popular phones can be found on our website at
http://www.jawbone.com.

2. Ensure Jawbone is off (the LED status indicator

should not be flashing).
3. Activate your mobile phones Bluetooth function.
Please refer to your mobile phone user guide or
http://www.jawbone.com for details.
4. Press and hold the NOISE SHIELD BUTTON
for 3 seconds until the LED status indicator alternately
flashes white and red. This means Jawbone is now in
pairing mode. This mode will last for 2 minutes or until
pairing is complete.
5. Set the mobile phone to search for all available
Bluetooth devices. When the search is complete, select
Jawbone from the list of devices shown.
6. Enter the passkey 0000 and press OK to pair
Jawbone with your mobile phone. When the pairing
is completed, Jawbone will beep and the LED status
indicator will then flash white rapidly eight times.
7. If prompted by the phone to connect, select Yes
(this will vary between phones).

8. Go back to your mobile phones main menu. For

certain mobile phone models, once the headset is
activated, a headset icon will be displayed on the
screen. You should now be able to make and receive
calls using Jawbone.
NOTE: After the initial pairing, the phone and Jawbone
will remember each other. Therefore you will not have to
pair your headset with your phone every time you use it.
Just select Jawbone from the list of paired devices and
connect to it.

ear, place the earbud snugly inside your ear, and rest
the voice activity sensor on your cheek as shown in the
diagram.

17

It is important for the voice activity sensor to touch your

cheek, your caller will not hear you properly.

18

Earloop
The standard right-side earloop and earbud are fitted to
Jawbone at the factory. If you would like to change the
earloop to a different size or use an earloop designed
for your left ear, gently pull the standard size earloop
out of Jawbone. You may then insert another earloop
that results in the best fit for you.

19

Note: To insert earloops meant for the left ear, you will need
to turn the headset over.

Earbud
Ears vary widely in shapes and sizes, so Jawbone comes
with multiple earbuds. If you find that the standard
earbud does not fit your ear correctly, choose a different
fit by selecting one of the additional earbuds included.
Few people have exactly the same fit in each ear, so try
the other ear as well to see if you get a better fit.
The earbud connects to Jawbone using a simple rotate
and lock system, illustrated below:
